Interested in Collaborating on the Long-Term Bridge Performance Program?
The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Long-Term Bridge Performance (LTBP) program is envisioned as a 20-year comprehensive examination of the nation’s bridges. The objective of the LTBP program is to compile a comprehensive database of quantitative information from a representative sample of bridges nationwide, looking at every element of a bridge. By taking a holistic approach and analyzing all of the physical and functional variables that affect bridge performance, the study will provide a more detailed and timely picture of bridge health and better bridge management tools.The FHWA is seeking industry input, including but not limited to professional organizations, associations, companies and vendors with innovative ideas, tools and technology, in support of the LTBP program. The FHWA seeks suggestions in the form of a white paper which includes an approach for collaboration between the organization and the LTBP program. Collaboration may include involvement such as the sharing of data, access to knowledge, or contribution of products, services, or expertise that supports the LTBP program. White papers are due by 3:00 p.m. (EST) on Friday, January 13, 2012, for consideration.
